Band Website: n/a
Band Members: well there just ain't any at the moment, hint hint
Influences: I've been in a bunch'a bands and loved every one! Not mentioning the gospel stuff the bands were: Vacation in Dresden/Mohair/Cassius King/ Uniform Response/Some Several Dwarts/Seagoe. I also wrote the lyrics/melodies for the songs Be A Man, Aimless, Sunset Blvd., and Nobody Knows Nothin'. ..
Biggest influence? is my big g God (trinity, flood, crown of thorns, fire and brimstone kinda stuff) and his not so hard to sing along with TOP 10 hits (i made that up- get it? Thou shalt not da da da). i like all kinds of diverse music from classical to disco to heavy metal. i grew up mostly listening to gospel with a bit of rock (Rolling Stones to Jethro Tull) and pop (Michael J. to Anne Murray etc. etc.) thrown in just to mess up my mind lol. I've been listening to singers from all different nationalities my whole life and hear music in all the world accents/languages. People thought i was nuts in the 70's- white chick rockin out to Punjabi music....but i've been a slumdog all my life. Anyone who tries to do the right thing morally gets my attention (i have Adult ADHD - so that's saying something) The people who i admire most though, are people who don't care about wealth or skin colour, disability or what someone's religion or lack thereof. i like people who really try to make a difference. honest people, people who are accepting...musical people (ha ha) and people who do good for goodness sake- not for the glory.
Sounds Like: a lot of times it depends on the song but i've been told....cranberries, janis joplin, an angel (joking), you know it's never the same "you sound like": people always say the strangest things.. anyway here's my story....According to my Mom i was born singing. i've been in numerous Toronto bands and got to play at Larry's Hideway just before they tore it down. played on CIUT a few times and did the rounds of the Bev, Clintons etc etc in the early 80's and a few years ago i also got to play on a roof at the Danforth Music Festival which was way cool. I've been performing in all kinds of stuff my whole life (singing Beatles songs in a clown suit at the Dufferin Mall was fun!) the songs on this site are first takes or very early ones which is my favorite way to record and were recorded when i was in a band called Seagoe. Unfortunately i can't put up any of my other band music cause i'm computerly challenged in a BIG WAY. i see my voice as a gift from God that i share with a gazillion of other singers in our world. i didn't pay for it with sweat or hard work or tears, it was given to me on a silver platter and i am grateful. God gave me the gift of music just like he did to lots of you my friends! i have never heard such wonderful and diverse and NEW music and it's really amazing that we can all share our music now. so basically i love to sing and always will even if no one hears me.............
